There Will be a Day

In life, some days are always tougher than others. Lately I’ve found myself thinking about the people around me who are hurting and, in dealing with my own struggles, feeling the heaviness of this world on me. On those days it’s great to dream about Heaven!

I love Jeremy Camp’s song, “There Will Be a Day” and how it reminds us that it won’t be long before we’ll be with Jesus in a place where there will be no more suffering…

The chorus of the song is wonderful!

There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more,
we’ll see Jesus face to face
There will be a day,
He’ll wipe away the stains,
He’ll wipe away the tears ….

Our time here on earth is only temporary. Our home for eternity is with Jesus. He promises us in John 14:2-3: “In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” (NIV)

What will that be like being with Jesus always, in a beautiful place, so amazing we can’t even imagine it? Where people won’t have disabilities, where we won’t be sick, where we’ll be loved so completely we won’t ever be lonely or afraid? It’s going to be indescribable!

“No one's ever seen or heard anything like this, Never so much as imagined anything quite like it— What God has arranged for those who love Him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9 (MSG)
